Woman set on fire by ex-fiancé now tries to kick out squatters

Naomie Bretton needs Roosevelt Mondesir to sign over house to her

A South Florida woman who was set on fire by her ex-fiancé now has a problem with squatters.

Naomie Breton said the home where she used to live for 13 years in the 3900 block of Mackinac Road is in the name of her ex-fiancé, Roosevelt Mondesir. She moved out about a year ago, but now squatters have made themselves at home.

Breton said her attorney is working on getting Mondesir, who is in jail on an attempted murder charge, to sign paperwork that would give her ownership of the house.

In June 2012, Mondesir was captured on surveillance video at a Boynton Beach 7-Eleven dousing Breton with gasoline and then setting her on fire.

"By the grace of God I am here," Breton said. "But why am I still having to deal with this after almost a year?"

Breton said authorities told her they can't do anything until the home is in her name.
